I'm wearing these as I write this. Really like them. I've had earlier versions and keep updating. Only problem is the backs which crunch if you don't hold them when you're putting them on. Once they are on, they're fine. I do mostly walking with a little running thrown in.

Asics is the only brand I wear. I walk a lot so I normally purchase 2-3 pairs per year. These have been my favorites yet. Very comfortable, true to size, perfect fit.

This is the second time I buy the Kayano 19 for my daily jog The previous one lasted a whole year (about 900 miles) If you overpronate and need arch support while jogging this is a great option.

I bought the ASICS GT-1000 from Zappos in a size 8 and it fit perfectly. I guess ASICS sizing is not consistent, I also ordered the GEL-Kayano 19 size 8 from Zappos and it was 1/2 size too big. I had to get a refund from Zappos because they no longer carried the color I wanted. I was able to find the 7 1/2 in "onyx/black" online with another retailer and the fit was PERFECT and the sole provided much more substantial support than the GT-1000. I'm glad that I was able to find the GEL-Kayano 19 (older style) because they are $50 less than the GEL-Kayano 20 and I like the look/style better!

These shoes look good and feel great. I have never tried Asics before, despite the fact that my sister and dad who are serious runners have been using them for a long time. After reading the raving reviews, I decided to give them a try. Most new shoes, even running shoes, I always feel like I have to give the shoes time to break in before they feel good when I run. These felt great from the first time that I put them on. They are very well made and overall amazing shoes.

I am currently training for a half-marathon and these shoes have been a lifesaver! I no longer have pain in my feet or back. Great product!

This shoe is amazing! Asics are definitely 'my brand', so to say, and these were especially comfortable, right out of the box. Moreover, the search and ordering processes via Zappos were terrific!

I have flat feet and I use custom orthotics but I still need a good 'motion-control' shoe to control pronation. I struggle with Posterior Tibial Tendonitis and these shoes along with my orthotics really help! I notice that Asics run narrower than other shoes. I chose the Narrow width but went up a half size and they are perfect! I'm sticking with the Kayano line. Hopefully the 20 is as good as the 19.

I originally bought a pair of Nike's for the same price. When I received them I was quickly reminded of why I have 4 other pairs of Asics and haven't worn Nike's since high school. I returned them and ordered these. They feel so wonderful! Lots of arch and even ankle support. I've yet to find a more comfortable shoe for running and walking.

This is my third pair of Kayano 19 sneakers. Very comfortable, lots of gel, bright and cheerful stripes. I ordered one size larger and they fit well.

I have worn and loved Asics for years now. This is my second pair of the Kayano 19. They are the most supportive and comfortable shoe for my foot. First time ordering from Zappos. Highly recommend. Cheapest price I found anywhere and also the cheapest I have paid for a pair of Asics ever. Fast shipping, even considering I placed my order right before Christmas. I will most definitely be a returning customer.

I had promised my daughter a pair of Asics running shoes for Christmas. I had forgotten to order them; once I remembered, it was very close to Christmas. I was extremely surprised that the shoes arrived four days later...they arrived much earlier than I anticipated and, definitely in time for Christmas! I will always order from Zappos, with this kind of customer service! I am a very satisfied customer and, my daughter is a very happy recipient!

I bought two pairs - need I say more? After receiving first pair and wearing them for a month, I ordered a second pair. Great shoes, they wear well and my custom orthotics fit comfortably. Super support and shock absorption.

I love these shoes. They are among the most comfortable shoes that I have had. I have problems with my feet such as plantar fasciitis, callouses, bunions and these shoes are very comfortable. I love Zappos because I now can find shoes in my size (5) and the return policy is great. I wish that I had known about Zappos a long time ago.

I had just had knee surgery and my feet were really bothering. So I got these shoes and the cushioning was so good that it took care of my foot problems.

Excellent customer service. I had to return some shoes (didn't fit) and the return process is the easiest I've ever used. Replacement shoes arrived in a couple of days.

OMG! I love, love, love these shoes! My feet are narrow and I tried them on at Foot Locker in a regular width, but they just did not fit like a glove. FL did not have a narrow width, so I ordered on Zappos. They are amazing shoes! Fit thin feet with high arch. Size 7 was perfect for me and I fluctuate between 7-7.5 My Nike's are a 7 and too small, but these are perfect. I am thrilled! Great support.
